Costco customers complain about Main St. Bistro Buffalo Mac & Cheese

If there's one place to go when you want to figure out what's hot and what's not at Costco, it's the Costco subreddit. Here, customers compare opinions, share warnings, and recommend the best products on shelves. One user recently gave a review of Main St. Bistro Buffalo Macaroni and Cheese, warning fellow Costco Members that they "do not recommend."

"On sale but they used horrible tasting cheese and there were hardly any noodles," they wrote in the post, which included an image of the frozen meal. In the comments, many chimed into echo this sentiment.

"Also tried this and would not recommend," one person wrote. "Honestly, it was cheese overload and very salty."

"Strongly agree! My partner got this and it was not good. After a few bites I threw the rest away," complained another, while someone else confirmed: "Agree. It's nasty."

However, not everyone thinks this macaroni and cheese is so terrible. Several commenters jumped to defend it.

"Devil’s advocate, but my family and I actually really liked it," wrote on user, garnering other comments of agreement.

What do you think? Has this buffalo macaroni and cheese earned its bad reputation, or is it tasty for the price? Regardless, there are still plenty of great products to add to your cart on your next Costco trip—even if there are a few you'll stay away from.
